Description: | A shaped waste flake, which could be a burin dating from the Mesolithic to Neolithic period (circa 8300 ? 2100 BC).
The bulb of percussion and striking platform have both been removed. Ripples of percussion are also still evident.
One end of the flake has been shaped into a point, like a burin and has been heavily retouched. The rest of the dorsal surface (approximately 80%) is coated with the natural cortex. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | -8300
